Dear Mr. Siegel and Mr. Goldstein:
For the past twenty-five years, the overall purpose of the Chelsea Youth Basketball
League (CYBL) has centered around the building blocks of success – guidance, motivation,
empowerment, and positive thinking to assist Chelsea youth 8 to 13 to reach their
personal goals. Basketball activities are the vehicle used to achieve these goals. Each
year, CYBL supports this purpose by providing quality recreation and healthy
competition through our basketball program.
CYBL is an all-volunteer, 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization that works tremendously hard
to find funding, as well as volunteer coaches, referees and scorekeepers. This year, we
anticipate over 200 youths will register for our basketball program, which runs from
November through March and is open to boys and girls who are 8-13 years of age.
It is our long-term goal to be able to expand the age limits to include younger and older
youth, and to ultimately provide a quality youth basketball program to Chelsea boys and
girls at no cost. In order to continue to operate for the upcoming season and (eventually)
reach our long-term goals, we are in need of financial support.
It costs approximately $13,000 per season to operate our basketball program. (The
annual banquet ($4000), uniforms ($4000) and referees ($2300) are where
we incur our most expenses.) We incur our highest expenses from the cost
of uniforms, referees, and the annual awards banquet. We are seeking
financial support from organizations to help offset these major costs. In addition to
these expenses, we are also in need of the necessary first aid supplies to deal with
sports injuries. We respectfully request any items you can donate to ensure we are
stocked with the necessary medical supplies for not only multiple small injuries but
also with enough gear the supplies necessary should a major injury until the
ambulance arrives such as non-latex gloves, bandages, scissors, band aids, cold/heat
packs, tweezers, tape, gloves, and eye wash solution.
For your tax-deductible donation, you will receive a receipt with our tax-identification
number, recognition in the Chelsea Record, a listing on our website, in the CYBL annual
banquet program, and possibly on banners during games. Please complete the attached
form today and return it to us as soon as possible. Thank you for your consideration in
investing in our children and for supporting our efforts. Feel free to contact us if you have
any questions.
Sincerely,
CYBL Board of Directors
